Common Council passes third Housing Forward package of 2025

  • Allow four-home structures to be built in residential areas along major transportation corridors.

  • Limit drive-through windows along major transportation corridors unless they are incorporated into larger, multi-story buildings that also provide housing opportunities.

  • Prohibit the creation of new low-density uses like car washes, auto sales businesses, and standalone private surface parking lots along major transportation corridors. Surface parking lots that serve other buildings, like a parking lot associated with a business or residential development, are still allowed.

  • Allow the building of "cottage courts," which could be a collection of condominium homes, homes on their own individual lots, or homes on a single lot with a single owner.
